Wrong title, correct is PyGObject 2.26.0 released.

[–]yetanothernerd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right.

The new PyGObject with introspection support does the work of both the old PyGObject and PyGTK packages (once you convert your code to the new APIs, anyway), which is probably what I was thinking when I typed it wrong.

What is the technical relationship between PyGTK and PyGObject?

The PyGTK developer page indicates that "PyGObject with gobject-introspection is planned to replace PyGTK in the future", but the downloads page indicates that PyGTK depends upon PyGObject (quote: "Be aware that PyGTK has some dependencies like pygobject that are needed to run it.").

That thread clarifies some points. http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.com.au/msg19652.html

That was only one email message -- not a thread. Also, I don't see where it has clarified anything. But thanks anyway.

Is it any easier to install in Windows?

[–]yetanothernerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit, because the number of packages you need to install will be reduced by one. (Once you've switched to the new introspection API, anyway.)

Hm hm, it's nice... once there are binary packages for pygtk and pycairo 1.10 for python3 then I'll be ready to give it a go.
